Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Anthony Stolarz plays goal for the Philadelphia Flyers, but he represents the state of New Jersey. And the 22-year-old made home-state history Sunday.

Hailing from Edison, Stolarz became the first New Jersey-born goalie to play in - and win - an NHL game. He made 29 saves in his successful debut.

The Flyers beat the Calgary Flames 5-3.
